Who Is Organizing The Journey?

Tour Leaders
Tom & Debra Margrave are the owners and co-founders of Sedona Soul Adventures. In addition to orchestrating more than 2500 Soul Adventures in the last 8 years, Tom and Debra have organized and led scores of spiritual seekers and adventurers on trips to the pyramids, temples and tombs of ancient Egypt. Firm believers in the adage that "travel broadens the mind and feeds the Soul", Tom and Debra have made pilgrimages to sacred sites around the world from the cathedrals of Italy to Machu Pichu in Peru; from Chichen Itza in the Yucatan to Paha Sapa (the Black Hills) in South Dakota. In 2006, Tom and Debra led a small group of friends on an exploratory trip to Bali. In 2007 they led their first Sedona Soul Adventure group tour and in 2008, 2009 & 2010, they brought additional groups. Each time they visit Bali, they are amazed at the delightful beauty of the island, the warmth and spirituality of its gentle people and the depth and subtlety of the heart opening experiences with which Bali blesses them.

Our Bali Guide
Cokorda Istri Ratih Iryani was born into the royal caste at Puri Agung (the High Palace), where her grandfather had been the king of a province in Bali called Peliatan. Ratih began dancing with her great uncle's dance troupe when she was seven. This famous troupe brought the first group of Balinese musicians and dancers to Paris and Amsterdam in 1931. Ratih has toured internationally and won many awards for her dancing, including being voted the best dancer in Bali in 1984. After graduating from Udayana University with a degree in management, she was inspired to become certified as a Balinese guide. She lives in Denpasar with her husband and 2 children.
